accident
 

So bald tires suck... I had no money to buy new tires... Grandma helps me out.

On the way to get new tires from tires plus... I slide out going 10 into the back of soem ass hole who thinks slamming the brakes in the winter on a on ramp is a good idea. So my door is fucked from my drift into her. I only have liability and am on risk insurance so im pretty pissed. Sitting against the guard rail in snow mad as all hell a talon (black 2g) decides to rev at me in some sort of hey im a fellow dsm'r or haha you suck. So i get out pissed as hell and talk to the girl. Turns out that the girl i hit is going to tires plus as well so we are on our way. 1 minute after taking off i am goign 20 mph on 394 because my continental extreme bald front tires and 30% rears didnt liek this weather so this new checy aveo slides out doign the speed limit rolls over the hill, through the fence, over the frotnage road, and into some dudes lawn through their nice wooden fence. So that was also my fault(kinda) but that sucked oh well. So we get there and discuss all this shit and we are settling it out of insurance so im fine but even more broke somehow(my god the banks are going to love me). So ya winter sucks and whoever that fellow dsm'r was, nice car...you shouldve helped out.

Also anyone here able to fix my door? it opens n closes but looks like ass

Sell your car and take the bus.

Re: accident
 

That sucks,. Lesson is, don't wait until damn near December to get snow tires put on...

Re: accident
 

Hey Alex, I saw your car at Tires Plus and the guy that went over the fence on 394.. Sucked that the traffic went down to about 10mph CAUSE OF YOU lol, jk. But yeah, always a bad idea to have bald tires in Minnesota, October and on.

Re: accident
 

-Hit car
-Caused roll-over
-Thinks some guy is an asshole because he didnt stop to help, as if he could have done you any good.

+1 on riding the bus, holy fuck.

Re: accident
 

ahh, don't be a hater.

i feel sorry for you. wrecking a car sucks.

Re: accident
 

Listen I HAVE NO MONEY!!! I cant afford tires.. I was fronted them today. Not my fault the car flipped because he was goign to fast and shouildve driven to the conditions.. just because I was being slow doesnt mean its my fault. I hit the car becauase bald tires.. not because of bad driving.

Also if I saw a fellow dsm'r i would help him out on the road no questions asked. Anyway oh well. Im not selling my car even though i thought of it.. But I like it a lot and one mix up cause of bald ass conti extremes that cause me to understeer in the dry dopesnt make me a bad person.. Just wanted to share what happened and how it sucked.

Tom-welcome. Would you rather have me go 30 and spin the fuck out?

Re: accident
 

never said you were a bad person or anything. Just saying I would have made sure I had some tires that could perform in winter much much sooner. You have no money, so that's why you have to plan in advance. Save up some money for a few months so you can get some. But start saving in the summer, that way you'll have some tires before it snows. Hell I had some rims with tires on them for sale for pretty cheap, but no one offered anything. I'm sure you coulda afforded them. Anyhow good luck fixing it all, hope it turns out alright.

Re: accident
 

It is not your fault for the guy flipping over assuming you were in the appropriate lane. Some people truely are stupid and drive way too fucking fast.

And believe it or not, you DID hit the car because of bad driving. I dont give a shit how bald your tires are. If your tires are that bald, stay 200-300 feet back and EXPECT the worst of everything, ALWAYS in the winter. You have an AWD DSM, AWD being a huge advantage in the snow. I have a dropped neon that has like 2/32 on the rear tires and 4/32 on the front tires, and I have no problems driving. The tires are also cheap ass all season POS's from fleet farm or some shit. I just be cautious.

Sucks about your car, and your money problems.

Re: accident
 

Well... Got my car abck tonight.. Turns out i needed special mitsu lugnuts for my gst winter rims(which i didnt have the lugnuts for) so I got to pay a extra 13 a nut(279 total for all 20)... Yay for fuckin debt

Re: accident
 

$13 per lugnut? What is so special about them?

Re: accident
 

He's probably referring to the mag nuts. Too bad he didn't know you could get them at checkers for a couple bucks. Or is there something SOOOO special about GST nuts as opposed to all others.

They had dollar signs going off in their head when you walked in. Next time, before they buy any parts for you, double check to make sure you can't get them somewhere else cheaper. I don't believe there is anything more special than just being nuts for mag wheels. They aren't like the normal acorns, they pilot thru the holes for the studs.

If I am wrong, please correct me.

Re: accident
 

I have an abundance of lugs over here too. Ah well, debt is fun tho!

Re: accident
 

Did you already buy some winter tires? I have a set of 225/45/17s that would work perfect for a set of 2g 17s...

Re: accident
 

Yes I did.. I wouldnt make this up... And the rims are 16's... My summer rims are 17's though.

Anyway the lugnut deal is rediculous and it was actually 14 a lugnut. He said brign in a receipt to proove they are cheaper with that shank and what not and hell pay the difference. Im going to try to get that or I will se if he will jsut buy them back and get some of somebody here but its rediculous.. Plus i was short a 1/4 tank of gas.. looks liek someone had some fun in my dsm...:( Fuckin tiresplus

Re: accident
 

Also keep in mind this was paid for by my grandma and I pay her back.. She didnt know any better so I am going to go in so i dont get fucked over in the long run.. I know lugnuts arent that much... I couldve gotten locking rays lugnuts for 107 a set shipped... And those come annodized ;) lol

Re: accident
 

thanks^. I'm not gonna fix it till spring/summer. That way if I fuck it up more drifting ill be fine.

Re: accident
 

Go to any autoparts store and you should be able to find a set of lugnuts for much cheaper than $14 a piece. Go to a Napa or Carquest where they know more than the young kids at Checker or Pep Boys.

Re: accident
 

There really needs to be a delete button put in here somewhere.

Re: accident
 

You're a fucking idiot and a danger to society (as you proved on the way to Tires Plus). I hope you aren't posting here expecting anyone to give you sympathy. You got what you deserved, unfortunately other people were given what they didn't deserve.

Re: accident
 

If? Since you've already proven you can't drive in the winter-I don't care if you want blame it on your tires or not, I'll give you the 17th of January until you really fuck up your car.

By the way Hughes, your comment: classic. Whenever I get up North I'll have to buy ya a beer.

Re: accident
 

I was gonna say exactly that but was sure it would be deleted.
someone needs a good beating and a ten speed.

Re: accident
 

Yea he's clearly a kid but jesus LAY OFF the kid. Christ, you guys are such assholes to people. Someone here ever not made a mistake driving? Fuck no we've all made mistakes. Saying what you said to him changes nothing. Let him learn on his own, or be polite about it. This is a "family" that we try to keep up here.

Re: accident
 

As his post proved, he learned nothing from this incident and it really bothers me thinking about how many other people will face damages before this kid is off the road. From what he said, he has no business driving on public roads. He is very irresponsible and is not willing to take responsibility for his actions. I will not "LAY OFF" anyone who comes on this board bragging about how other peoples' cars have been wrecked b/c of his own stupidity.

Re: accident
 

im 19 i know better than to be stupid and drift my car. If he doesn't have the money to fix his car, he shouldn't be a moron with it. people get what they deserve.

Re: accident
 

Boo fucking hoo!!

We are a bunch of assholes, don't like it, GTFO. We have all made mistakes, yes, but for me causing 2 accidents within 1 day, not one of them. Actually I haven't ever caused an accident. And I know better than to drive with bald ass tires on the highway. Take back roads with your hazards on, or get a ride from a friend. Figure something out, there was obviously a better way.

Re: accident
 

I should lock this but...........................


































I'm not gonna. :)

Re: accident
 

Well it looks like the winter crabbyness started early. Watch out n00bs the wolves are looking for food.
DSMStyle usually gets pretty mean around this time. I think this has happened every year since i had joined. Which has been something like 3-4 years.

Re: accident
 

Eh, winter crabbiness maybe.

Some guy admitting he was driving a car that was not roadworthy, in an area that we live in is generally not a good idea.

Nothing gets the "wolves" in a good mood like someone coming in and saying, "Guess what I did to risk your life today"

Re: accident
 

I'm buying you a beer too.

Re: accident
 

Deng, I didn't realise it was getting so hostile up in here!!

Re: accident
 

Remember that Hughes is in Duluth. I would be pissed if I was up there too :) j/k

Re: accident
 

This whole thing reminds me of this kinda situation :

Dumb gets dumber

Re: accident
 

Ok All I did was tell a story about what happened. I complained to tires plus and got the price dropped 200 on the rediculous lug price. As for driving... You guys post videos of you drifting in parking lots... Why is it bad if I do some drifting in a huge abondoned empty parking lot... I had to drive to get to the place to put the tires on dumbass. I was cautious but not enough, had my caution lights on and was goign 10 mph. This is my first winter driving and I wasnt ready for it.. Anyway, Jakey.. Im not going to crash my car again... Ill bet you a case on that shit.

Also The other guy crashing is his fault... He was going way to fast with no control in a fwd. Me goign 20 on the shoulder with hazards on isnt the cause.

Re: accident
 

Also DSMSTYLE, How is some dumbass getting his geo storm stuck related to me? But whatever Im not going to argue with an admin who already doesnt fancy me.

thanks pimpin dsmstyle and juon and others who havnt been dicks

Re: accident
 

What exactly did you expect when you posted your story? I am suprised that it took so long for people to start giving you a hard time.

I see people like this every day at work. They will come in with cords sticking out of their tires or a ball joint that is ready to fall out or brakes that aren't even functioning and dont fix it because it is too expensive. If you cant afford it when it NEEDS to be done dont drive. It frustrates me because I know I have to share the roads with these people and it could be me that they are goig to get into an accident with.

I know you were on your way to buy new tires but the point is that it is Minnesota and every year about this time we do get snow. If your tires were really that bad you probably could have took the wheels in off the car to get new tires.

Re: accident
 

Drifting in an abandoned parking lot is a little different than sliding sideways into someones car because you have bald ass tires, therefore making your car unsafe to drive in the winter.

What the fuck are you doing going 10-20 mph on the highway. If your car isn't safe at highway speeds, don't use the fucking highway. Side streets with less traffic, going slower, what a fucking concept.

Anyway, I don't expect any of this to sink in, but maybe consider that in the future, telling stories about you being a dumbass and risking peoples lives might not be the best idea, the "wolves" and "assholes" that don't like getting rear-ended might get mad.

Re: accident
 

Good thing nobody in here races on the streets and highways. Good thing nobody here tells stories about their many kills on the highways over the weekends during the summer.

Re: accident
 

Theres quite a difference in driving in the summer vs. driving in the winter. You cant compare racing or doing pulls on the highway to driving like he did, and acknowledging the fact that he shouldnt be doing it.

Some people just dont have much common sense I guess....

Blue89Quest summed things up pretty well.
